The suit fell from heaven without any plan or destination in mind. It was still young. A carefully constructed tool meticulously programmed and then carelessly left untethered by itself. Of course it wandered off. As the ship prepared to leave the atmosphere it enjoyed a final flush of freezing, oxygen-rich air by opening all its…

Adam is in debt. Serious debt. Just like getting fat, debt silently accumulates and remains unnoticed until things don’t fit anymore.

Death, Famine, War, and Conquest. These are the four horseman of the apocalypse as named in the book of Revelations in the Christian bible.

Nobody on earth noticed when it entered our atmosphere. It had no heat signature and made no sound. Its stealthy arrival enhanced by it being a little…
